What we offer

One free catalog, four pillars.

Everything on The Trading Tools is free and recomputed every trading day. Here is what's inside, pillar by pillar.

Markets — live internals

The health of the tape under the surface, grouped by the question each tool answers:

Signals — what happened next

Honest base-rate studies: for each well-known technical trigger, we find every time it fired on SPY since 1993 and tabulate the forward returns across six horizons (1 week to 12 months) — average, median, hit rate, best and worst, with the full sample and the caveats in plain sight. No hot takes, just the historical odds.

Fund Managers — what the greats own

Quarterly 13F holdings for tracked institutional managers, parsed directly from SEC EDGAR filings — every position with quarter-over-quarter changes, new buys, exits, and portfolio weights. Each holding links straight to its price chart.

Economy — the macro backdrop

FRED-sourced indicators given the same treatment as our market tools: full history, an SPY overlay, and a dated plain-English reading of the latest release — inflation, the yield curve, labor, sentiment, and more, in a directory built to grow.

Per-symbol charts

Every ticker across the site — heatmap cells, options scans, fund holdings, sector and macro tables — links to a clean candlestick + volume price chart drawn from our own daily history.

What it costs

Nothing. No paywall, no signup, no account, no trial. The tools, the dated readings, and the methodology are all free to read and quote. See how it works for the daily workflow behind it.
